Obituary for Ivan "Ujak" Rukavina
April 6, 1919 – February 9, 2017
Born in Kosa, Perusic, Croatia to Martin and Luja Rukavina. Predeceased by his wife Ana and his sister Ane Stimac. Leaves behind dear friend and long time companion Ana Kustreba, sister Jelena (Ivan) Hecimovic, nieces and nephews Kata (Ante), Ivan (Vjera), Ive, Ankica (Joso), Kate (Devin), Maria and extended family in Canada and Croatia. Nas jedini UJAK as he was known by one and all, was a beacon to everyone in the Croatian community. His endless dedication & support for the people and his homeland never ceased. The emptiness that his passing leaves behind can never be filled, Hrvatski te narod ljubi.
